Why shop with us?
Highland Park Between You & I 16YO is a distinctive single malt that showcases the Orkney distillery’s signature balance of heathered sweetness, gentle smoke, and coastal character. Matured for 16 years, it offers a more reflective take on Highland Park’s style, with depth shaped by long aging and the island’s cool maritime climate. The release also nods to the distillery’s storytelling heritage, bringing a personal and contemporary edge to a classic Scotch name.
Tasting Notes
Expect a warm amber-gold colour in the glass. On the nose, this whisky typically opens with honeyed malt, dried fruit, gentle peat smoke, and soft spice, with subtle hints of maritime air and heather.
On the palate, it is usually rounded and layered, combining sweet malt, orange peel, vanilla, oak spice, and earthy smoke in a smooth, well-integrated style. The finish tends to be medium to long, with lingering warmth, light peat, and a whisper of salt and spice. With its maturity, it should have good drinking appeal now, while still offering enough structure to reward a thoughtful pour over time.
Production
Highland Park is based in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands, where the cool, windy maritime terroir helps shape the whisky’s distinctive profile. Traditional production methods remain central to the distillery’s character, including the use of lightly peated malt and long maturation in carefully selected oak casks. The 16 years of aging allow the whisky to develop complexity and harmony, while retaining the balance between smoke, sweetness, and coastal influence that defines Highland Park.
Food & Serving
Serve Highland Park Between You & I 16YO neat or with a few drops of water to open up its aromatic layers. It pairs well with smoked salmon, roasted poultry, mature cheddar, blue cheese, or rich desserts such as dark chocolate and salted caramel. A serving temperature around room temperature is ideal, and decanting is generally not necessary, though letting it rest briefly in the glass will help reveal more of its complexity.
